Eternal_D Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I liked shiryu's should armor. much much better than the immobile armor of the past. and yah, you're right, this line is better than any previous SS toy out. I'll just do a repaint on the purple when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgoth 13 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm not right with you Eternal_D. I love the Phoenix and it's my favorite of the 5 bronzes Saint Cloth Myth. The color does'nt bother me at all. For the news. Aiora/Leo is out in HK and should be arrive next week in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golgoth 13 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 First colored picture of Camus/Aquarius : I think the colors (gold & white/gold) on the figure look fantastic.

VF-0S FAN Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Fantastic . I promised myself to collect only robots ( Macross 1/48 line and Transformers 20th Anniverdsary line ) but I'm afraid I gonna break down and buy the Myth Cloth line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpchi Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Got my Ikki a few days ago...finally. The way they designed the chest and shoulder armor surprised me a little. In one way, the connection of the shoulder armor to the chest(at the back of the neck) could be more secure, but seems to function okay so far. Don't like the 'screws' between the double shoulder pads though. And the prototype on the box cover obviously doesn't have that! But the shoulders are diecast for once, so I guess is a fair trade-off. I wasn't bothered by the purple color either. I didn't even notice the difference until you guys mentioned. And I loved the belt of Ikki's. Nice fit and very tight. No more loosen belt when twisting/posing the waist joint like Seiya's. My Aiolia just shipped from HLJ too. So I should get it in a few weeks. That Camus pic looks cool, but seems everything looks a bit light. The hair could be a shade or two darker, so is the light gold. It looks somewhat pale compare to Aiolia. Wonder if its just the pics, or did they actually went lighter on Camus. This line finally pics up with fewer QC problems and better upcoming line-up. Yay!

Golgoth 13 Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Good pictures of Aiora from http://www.desire-city.com/ : I attach picture form the last "Figure Ou" where we can see the Aqurius Object : And I love the white gold color on the legs. I think the look and the colors of Camus are better than Aiora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichterX Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I wonder if Libra will come with a mini figure of roshi.  It's the first time I heard this name, "Roshi". Is Roshi the american name ? Beacause the japan name is "Dohko" for the Libra Saint. In the french version, this is "vieux maître" (old master), a kind of Yoda. There is a rumor in France launched by a french animation magazine, who has good contacts in Japan. With the liitle thumbs on the box like that : , we could win the armor Seiya has in a short sequence in the new movie Tenkai-Hen, whick look a little like the Odin suit. But I don't want to affirm this, cause maybe it's just a rumor and I'm not sure for the goods with these thumbs... That cloths is the Kamui of Pegasus, it is the divine ultimate armour similar to those of the gods, it is suppose to appear on the final episodes of the Hades saga if they continue to animate it, it has only been seen a short animated scene of them on an extra scene of the Hades DVDs... I surprise it is in the Tenkai Hen overture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpchi Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Got my Aiolia today. Got to say...WOW! It has to be the best looking Seiya Myth series so far. Very nice, deep, multi-shade gold and LOTS of diecast. Other than the inner waist belt piece, front chest piece & the head mask, everything else is metal(including all the skirts, upper arm, upper leg pieces that the Bronze don't have), making Aiolia weights quite hefty for its size. Mine came with a very loose hinge(arm pit) on the chest piece, making me very disappointed for a moment. But fortunately, because of the genius design behind it, everything locks in tight once I put everything together. This time around, the chest piece has multiple locks from other armor pieces like shoulder attachment and chest front, making everything stays securely. Also, even though the design of Leo's Cloth totally closed off the waist joints, it still allows the figure to rotate its waist freely underneath. A much pleasant surprise! The only obvious flaw I find in this figure is the back skirt armor attachment, which is just a peg that allows the armor piece to swing side to side, rather than a hinge that allow it to swing back & forth. The peg seems a bit weak and you have a tendency to loosen it too much every time you try to grab the figure from the waist. And there are still occasional small scratches here & there right out of the box. But otherwise, Aiolia is truely a thing of beauty! And the Gold Cloth just looks amazing!!! You just don't see gold depicted in a diecast toy to look this good in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moose Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 where is teh cheapest place to get these. fo rthe us market and are they an updated version of teh ones sold at target. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpchi Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Moose, The Saint Seiya Myth Cloth series is not really an update of the 'Target' figures, but more of a higher end Bandai Seiya toyline that is exclusively for Asian market, mainly Japan & Hong Kong. They are more articulated figures with diecast + chrome plastic armor parts. They cost around $35 - $50 each, with the Gold Saints more expensive than the Bronze. Read the previous posts of this thread for pics & more details. As for where to get it cheap, HLJ.com usually is the cheapest if you go for the 'snail' SAL mail. But they don't have all of the figure in stock at the moment, and you have to be really patient to save those few bucks. Otherwise, AnimeQuest.com have pretty good price for U.S. online stores, especially if you buy a few at a time as they have a flat shipping rate. They probably have most if not all of them. Dealt with them once and they ship pretty fast. ImageAnime has them too, but cost a bit more. Definitely go for Aiolia and the other upcoming Gold Saints! Then collect the Bronze if you have extra cash to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpchi Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Cool! Shaka is a great runner up. His Virgo Cloth has a full helmet too! Interesting to find out how Bandai will pull that off. Probably a very big chunk of removable hair. Wonder if it comes with 2 heads, one with eyes open & one with eyes close. It would be awesome if it does! Having the beads as accessories would be even more awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golgoth 13 Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 There's a picture we can see on the web, but I'm not sure if it's an official or a fake. I show you the picture but it's certainly a proto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpchi Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Shaka looks pretty good, but the head looks like it need some work. The helmet causes the head to look big again, and Shaka looks sleepy rather than menacing. But still pretty good overall, especially for a half finished proto. I especially like the hair flaring out wide at the back. Really hope it comes with a head with eyes open as well. Cool Pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akilae Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Just got the Leo, very very nice... although the armor seems to have some quirks that I can't quite figure out... some pieces don't really seem to go together as well as I thought they would... so hard to decide how to pose him though... either armored figure, or on the display rack... hmm, I almost feel like getting a second one just to do both Anybody have any idea when Sagittarius is coming out? These would probably be the only two I'll be getting, lack of money, grr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akilae Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Second one: My biggest gripe about the figure: that annoying gap right down the middle of the two hinged chest pieces... close the gap, and the left pauldron becomes loose. Tighten the clamp on the left pauldron, and the main chest piece sticks out so much it looks funny... oh, observation as I was dismantling the figure... the thighs come completely off...

isamu_dyson Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 (edited) mine is great, and i don't have a problem with the tabs, just have to be cautious. just a little thing: the shoulders must be placed up like this: anyway, it gave me a little idea for a diorama , in order to display the 12 gold saints ! i have made a little drawing on paint: Edited May 22, 2004 by isamu_dyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
